General Motors To Be The First Beneficiary Of Electric Cars

United States auto giant General Motors will be the first car to benefit from Electric Cars project.

According to Mark Reuss, GM’s Executive Vice President for product development, General Motors is the leading company working on reducing the cost of electric cars with the intention of offering affordable version for the general public.

He said the company engineers are working on reducing the mass of the car and improving the battery efficiency as it requires less energy to move a lighter object than a heavier one.

“We know the customers would like to drive electric but are unwilling to pay, and that’s why we’re going to be the first company to (produce) electric vehicles that people can afford at a profit,” Reuss added.

GM will soon introduce a plug-in, all-electric vehicle based on the Cadillac CT6 luxury sedan, and a Buick extended range electric vehicle similar to the Chevrolet Volt.
